He has now become the "authoritative figure" in Shawshank Prison, and as long as you can pay, he can get almost anything you want: cigarettes, candy, alcohol, and even marijuana. Whenever a new prisoner arrived, everyone would bet on who would cry on the first night. Rhett thought that the weak and bookish Andy would cry, but Andy's silence cost him two packs of cigarettes. But it also made Rhett look at him differently.
For a long time, Andy didn't have contact with anyone. While everyone complained, he took a leisurely walk in the yard, just like in the park. A month later, the first thing Andy asked Red to help him was a stone hammer. His explanation was that he wanted to carve some small things to kill time, and said that he would find a way to escape the prison's routine. examine. Soon, Rhett was playing chess designed by Andy. Afterwards, Andy made a huge poster of Rita Hayworth and posted it on the wall of the cell.
Once, Andy and several other prisoners went out to work, and he overheard the prison officer talking about tax collection. Andy said that he had a way to make the prison officer legally exempt from this large amount of tax. In exchange, he won 3 bottles of beer for each of a dozen prisoner friends. Over a beer, Red said he felt free again for the first time in years.
Because Andy was proficient in financial system knowledge, he quickly got rid of the heavy manual labor in prison and the harassment of other perverted prisoners. Soon, the famous Andy began to handle tax issues for more and more prison guards, and even their children came to him for advice on their education. At the same time, Andy has gradually become an important tool for Shawshank Warden Norton to launder money. Prison life is very dull, and you always have to find something to do. Because Andy kept writing to the state assembly, he finally got a small amount of money for the prison to build a prison library. At the same time, in order to show the charm of music and let more people know about it, Andy risked being punished and played a piece of music and gave Red a harmonica.
The arrival of a young prisoner broke Andy's peaceful prison life: this prisoner had heard about Andy's case when he was serving time in another prison, and he knew who the real murderer was! But when Andy asked the warden to report the situation in order to seek a retrial of the case, he was flatly refused and was severely punished with a month of solitary confinement. The warden came to visit Andy in confinement. When he learned that Andy insisted on finding the real murderer and gained a new life, the warden became angry. In order to prevent Andy from being released, the prison did not hesitate to kill the insider and gave Andy another month of confinement as punishment!
Facing the cruel reality, Andy became very depressed... One day, he said to Rhett: "If one day you can get parole, you must go somewhere Fulfill a wish for me. That's where I proposed to my wife. Dig out a box under a big oak tree there. "That night, there was a lot of wind and rain, and there was a lot of thunder. The soul-saving Andy successfully escapes from prison.
It turns out that Andy has been digging holes with that small stone hammer every day for twenty years, and then covering the hole entrance with posters. At the same time, because of his economic savvy, the warden has been asking Andy to do black accounts for him, launder money, and transfer the black money he earned using the prison's cheap labor out one by one. And Andy placed all the black money under the name of a person named Steven. In fact, this Steven was a fictional character created by Andy. Andy made various certificates such as driver's license and ID card for Steven. Seamless. After Andy escaped from prison, he used the pseudonym Steven and took part of the black money stored in the prison as Steven, and used this considerable amount to live a good life. And exposed the truth about the prison warden's corruption and bribery. What the warden saw in the safe where he kept his small account book was a Bible left by Andy. The title page said: "Warden, you are right, the way to salvation lies in it." When he saw The hollowed out part inside is just right for placing a small stone hammer. The warden realized that Andy had never surrendered. At this time, the police were rushing to the prison to arrest the warden. In the end, the warden committed suicide by drinking a bullet.
Red was granted parole. After he found a box of cash and a letter left for him by Andy under the oak tree, he decided to violate his parole and find freedom. Then set off for Zihuatanejo. Two old friends, Andy and Red, finally reunite on a sunny beach in Mexico.
Andy is a person with defective character, so he committed murder in response to his wife's betrayal. Although he did not shoot, Andy would definitely commit murder if no one else killed them first. . This is one of the reasons why Andy will serve time in prison without appealing. In addition, in order to survive in prison, he committed money laundering crimes with the warning and the warden, which is why he was willing to serve his sentence. Serving his sentence is his atonement. But he has some sense. Because he attempted murder, the sentence of life imprisonment was too high, so he never gave up. If he could not be paroled or commuted, he would escape from prison and save himself. and implemented. When he learned that his apprentice had been murdered, he knew that parole and commutation of his sentence were impossible - because his apprentice would pass the academy and walk out of prison. The warden suspected that Andy's apprentice knew about his money laundering crime from Andy. In order to protect himself, he would not let Andy's apprentice out alive, thus killing Andy's apprentice. It was from the death of his apprentice that Andy saw the warden's face clearly, and he also understood that the warden would not let him get out of the prison. So he escaped from prison and took away the prison warden's incriminating evidence. This is also a kind of redemption for one's own sins. The reason why the film later gave Andy the status of a free man is because Andy had been punished for his actions and served twenty years in prison. These twenty years were not an unjust imprisonment - Andy himself believed so - he had been punished for his crimes. So, although Andy's escape was still a crime, he was still free. The film teaches us that we may all make mistakes on the road of life, but when our mistakes do not lead to death, we must practice it and repent from our conscience, but we must not give up hope, work hard to save ourselves, and gain strength from hope. Thus moving towards the light!
